jwblack 1.3.0

The customized uncompromising code formatter.

Forked from cblack

Thank you for the setup work cblack. This fork is only to pin it, because our app is unable to keep up with black at the moment.

Custom Black Code Formatter for Python with 2-space indents

Same rules as Black, only with two-space indents.

Installation

cblack can be installed by running pip3 install cblack.

It requires Python 3.6.0+ to run but you can reformat Python 2 code with it as well.

Usage

python -m cblack {source_file_or_directory}

Options

python -m cblack --help

You can also go to https://github.com/psf/black for the latest options available

Why

After a long discussion about indentation levels it was decided by the main author that:

Two space indents are not distinct enough to be recommended by the Black coding style.

The whole pourpose of this project is to provide an alternative to black, with the exact same rules and behaviour, but using 2 spaces for indentation instead of 4. All other black options are still supported.

Second reason is that Google YAPF is not able to produce same output as black (mostly because of function arguments indentation), otherwise, if it was possible to do it, I would not have created this project.

How

I'm a busy man. I don't want to spend my time pulling latest changes from black regularly, so I've created a small package that depends on black and overrides a method to reindent using two spaces. Shall black developers break this behaviour I might end up cloning the whole project. But the aim of this project would still be the same.
